What reading level is The Philosophy of Fiction in Literature An Essay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

They insist on the moral complexion. As M. Taine suggests, * they always say : " Be moral. . . . Love is the hero of all George Sand's novels. Married or not, she thinks it beautiful, holy, sublime in itself ; and she says so. Don't believe this, and if you believe it, don't say it. It is a bad example. Love thus represented makes marriage a secondary matter. ... A novel of this sort is a plea for the heart, the imag- ination, enthusiasm, nature ; but it is also often a plea against society and... law ; we do not suffer society and law to be touched, directly or indi- rectly. . . . George Sand paints impassioned women ; paint you for us good women. George Sand makes us desire to be in love ; do you make us desire to be married. " Now, dear friends, Eng- lish and American, M. Taine is quite right. You may argue that your views and your course should be approved. Perhaps ; but on moral grounds.
* ' Hist, of Eng. Lit. , " Book V. , ch. I.
EXHIBITION OF LOVE.
127 Follow your own convictions, if you please, but do not pretend to any equality with George Sand, for example, in the sphere which she occupies.
